Okay, then there is still another problem.  I am unable to reconfigure
my systems via 'guix deploy' when a timer is enabled already.  I am
trying to add a second timer.

The command stalls with messages like this:

    The following derivations will be built:
      /gnu/store/11nlp3k2lq25ijb4m9x0mj7phprjx9f6-remote-exp.scm.drv
      
/gnu/store/b52aidm138l6nwk5wd7lr7ghk8x9n8bx-upgrade-shepherd-services.scm.drv
    
    building 
/gnu/store/b52aidm138l6nwk5wd7lr7ghk8x9n8bx-upgrade-shepherd-services.scm.drv...
    building /gnu/store/11nlp3k2lq25ijb4m9x0mj7phprjx9f6-remote-exp.scm.drv...
    guix deploy: sending 2 store items (0 MiB) to 
'wallace-server.us-core.com'...

The issue occurred for the two timers below, but I believe the issue is
unrelated to the type of timer or their order.

Attached is a low-res image of the console output.  I was unable to
capture the error in any other way.  Sorry to spam the list with 7kB.

Kind regards
Felix
